Name Origin:
Lead singer Vic Fuentes explained:
"The name comes from a phrase that I learned during a sociology class in college. To 'Pierce The Veil'
means to go directly to the source of a problem and completely cut it out. This idea has helped
me through a lot of problems in my life that I may have otherwise never gotten over.
If something is truly bothering you or causing you pain, just go to the heart of the problem
and get rid of it at the root. It can be a breath of fresh air."
